Growth leaders include wearable mask devices, including La Lumière's illuMask brand of wearable LED light masks. The product is available in Anti-Acne and Anti-Aging variants and cost $29.95.

The products appeal to mass market consumers, according to Kline, creating new traction.

“With price points at two ends of the spectrum from under $30 to over $500, new companies jumping on the beauty devices bandwagon, and existing brands expanding their portfolio beyond cleansing and hair removal, this market has evolved into a very competitive place for manufacturers," said Karen Doskow, director at Kline’s consumer products practice. "With a wider range of prices and product choices, it has also become much more accessible to a larger consumer base.”

TRIA’s Age-Defying Laser and the Skin Smoothing Laser by Iluminage Beauty, as well as new introductions from brands such as RIO and Beurer in Europe, are driving the anti-aging segment’s double-digit growth, according to Kline.
